This week Visibility 9-11 visits the
topic of COINTELPRO in the
4th part of a new series on issues facing the 9-11 Truth
Movement. "Left gatekeepers", dis-information specialists,
agent provocateurs, and internet "trolls" all work to distract
and/or discredit the fine work of literally thousands of good and
caring Americans involved in 9-11 Truth. It is important to
recognize the history of things our government has done which has
violated every tenet of a free society.
This broadcast welcomes back to the program, Jim Hoffman. Jim
has co-authored a book Waking Up
From Our Nightmare; The 9/11/01 Crimes In New York City and
co-produced the video 9/11 Guilt;
The Proof Is In Your Hands with Don Paul, and runs the
websites wtc7.net and 911research.com.
Jim has written extensively on the topic of dis-information within
the 9-11 truth movement. His articles include:
The
Pentagon No-757-Crash Theory: Booby Trap for 9/11 Skeptics
The
Pentagon Crash: What the Physical Evidence Shows
Sifting
Through Loose Change
ScholarsFor911Truth:
Muddling the Evidence
These essays and many more can be found at Jim's website.
Counter Intelligence Programs, or COINTELPRO, are one more example
of the federal governments' raping of our rights. These
abuses were going on during the 50's, 60's and 70's, and though
they were prohibited by the Church Committee regulations, they have
not ceased. They are alive and well within political groups
which would seek to bring about truth, justice and accountability
to our government. 9-11 Truth is no exception and activists
need to educate themselves on the "dirty little tricks" our
government uses against our rights to free speech and
association. Only then, can we learn to recognize, and then
address the attempts which would tear down all of our hard
work.
